Captured our day perfectly!

We are so glad that we chose Vanessa to capture our day! She did a wonderful job not only snapping those special moments, but also helping my husband and me (who are camera shy and sometimes awkward) pose and feel comfortable! Vanessa was also very flexible and helpful leading up to our wedding day, helping me tweak my contract to add more time and accommodating my needs in a pinch when I'd made a mistake with planning and scheduling!

We only have previews so far, but they are so beautiful and we are obsessed with them! We can't wait to see the rest of our gallery! Thanks so much Vanessa! :)

Engagement Shoot

My (now husband) and I were trying to have a very quick engagement (2 months lol!), and one of the things that almost slipped through the cracks was our engagement photos. I am SO glad we did not skip this because these are some of my FAVORITE photos of me and my husband!

Vanessa was not only flexible with a time frame, and where we shot (we wanted to shoot at the local park my husband proposed at), but she made us feel so comfortable and just made the process so much fun!

We are not the most photogenic people, it's hard for us to pose, but Vanessa made everything so easy and natural.

I would HIGHLY recommend her for your engagement shoot and wedding photography!

Beautiful photos with an amazing Photographer!

I just wanted to take bridal photos because I didn't have the big planned wedding in 2020 for obvious reasons! And not only that, but I wanted to take them while visiting a state I had never been to. Cue Vanessa, the most patient, communicative, lovely person. She was great helping me plan in advance. Literally no one would take that one on one time with you here in LA.
Day of was even better than I could have imagined. She planned the locations and timing perfectly. My husband and pup had a great time too. I've only gotten a taste of my photos and let me tell you, the response from my friends and family have been overwhelming.
I beg of you to choose Vanessa Ray Photography. You will not regret it and you will have gorgeous pictures you will cherish forever.
